angels in architecture: a visual tour of art hiding in plain sight

Bob Perkoski Thursday, August 08, 2013


All around us are beautiful sculptural elements, affixed to the very buildings we stroll right by on a daily basis. How many of us notice those angels, faces, gargoyles, animals, fictional characters and creatures high up on the friezes and cornices of our historic structures? Photographer Bob Perkoski does, and he's assembled a few of his favorite images of them.
